Winning His Spurs: A Tale of the Crusades

"The reply to the summons was a burst of taunting laughter from the castle walls; and scarcely had the herald withdrawn, then a flight of arrows showed that the besieged were perfectly ready for the fray…" ~From the book

Cuthbert de Lance is only a page boy, but his bravery and courage make him stand out among the Earl of Evesham’s men-at-arms as King Richard I leads another Crusade. But the path to the Holy Land is fraught with dangers, and Cuthbert has a lot to learn before he would ever make a good knight. Even before they come into conflict with the pitiless Saracens, the youth has made a mortal enemy of the unscrupulous Count Jacquelin. Eventually what once seemed a grand adventure in the Holy Land takes a greater toll than Cuthbert could have imagined.
